Trascorse gran parte della sua vita negli Stati Uniti d’America e non poté più fare ritorno nella sua amata Cuba, se non per un unico concerto nella base americana di Guantánamo.

Celia Cruz è stata una delle cantanti latinoamericane più conosciute e di maggior successo internazionale del secolo XX. Ha ricevuto innumerevoli premi e riconoscimenti in tutto il mondo tra cui spiccano 22 dischi d’oro, 3 Grammy Award e 4 Latin Grammy Award[1]. È conosciuta in tutto il mondo per la sua famosa esclamazione ¡Azúcar!

Las Palabras – Maite Uró

KY-7-黒井
KY-7-黒井

Las palabras tienen alma, los signos de puntuación sirven para vestirla. Para vestirlas en invierno y desnudarlas en verano.El orden de las palabras no es como el de los números, sí altera el resultado, el significado.Las palabras son interpretables. Nada es blanco o negro, todo es según el color del cristal con que se mire y nadie conoce el color ese, ni el suyo ni el de los demás, hasta que es demasiado tarde.Las palabras también se interpretan distinto según el momento. En verano helar es bueno, en invierno helar es malo. En verano derretir es malo, en invierno derretir es bueno.Para escribir bien es importante elegir bien las palabras por su alma, intentar saber el color a través del cual se van a recibir, ponerlas en el orden correcto y vestirlas con signos de puntuación adequados.Escribir no es juntar simbolitos, escribir es hacer todo eso de más arriba bien. Quien sepa hacerlo que levante la mano. (Yo, hoy, las tengo en los bolsillos).

Fragmentos de una de las escritoras clandestinas mas hermosa del mundo, Maite Uró, sus palabras diseñan bordados de sueños y realidad de un mundo de conocer, pocos tienen la oportunidad de leer sus escritos o su corazón, hoy yo le dedico el reconocimiento que se merece, y que siga escribiendo mucho mas.

Escribir es compartir, compartir es aprender, aprender es crecer, crecer es tocar el cielo todos los dias, porque tu corazon, así de simple. KY-7-黒井

Danay Suárez – Lagrimas de soledad

Cuando la confianza se pierde no solo se pierde la confianza
Lo mas grande se pierde
Cuando las mentiras te duermen
No existen palabras que te vuelvan a hacer fuertes…]
Noooo…
Te hizo sentir lo unico en su vida, lo mas importante
la modelo preferida de la alfombra de su corazón
su mas grande canción, en el amor la principiante
Puso un anillo en tu dedo y su alma en su colchon
Te hizo sentir la mas inteligente, la mas decente
te garantizo fidelidad por siempre
Te hizo mirar al frente,sin miedo a la gente
te hizo una mujer segura, grande y fuerte…
Llena de esperanzas, pero… Eeeh
No solo se pierde la confianza
lo mas grande se pierde…
Cuando las mentiras te duermen
No existen palaaabras… Nooo.
que te vuelvan a hacer fuertes
NOOO…

Lagrimas, lagrimas… lagrimas caen
Cuando nadie las ve…
Es bueno disimular, nadie se debe enterar
que estas llorando otra vez

Todavia quedan restos de humedad
un corazón nuevo reemplaza al viejo que esta cansado de luchar
Contra lo poco de humano que existe en la humanidad
donde una blusa escotada borra un amor de verdad

Una foto al descuido que nunca valio nada
y una carta.. Mal redactada
Puede dejarte viviendo en el dolor y sin valor…
Hablando con la soledad.. aaa
(cuando la confianza se pierde, lo mas grande se pierde)
Tu noo sospechas… cuando me estas mirando
que cuando las… mentiras te duermen…
No existen palaabraaas que te vuelvan a hacer fuertes
Lagrimas, lagrimas,lagrimas caen… caen
Lagrimas, lagrimas caeen (bis)

Porque…
No existen palabraaas
